The Minister for the Cabinet Office and Digital Innovation, the Hon. Diallo Rabain, JP, MP, invites members of the public to participate in ongoing island-wide Electoral Reform Town Halls, seeking input on how Bermuda’s voting system can be made easier, fairer, and more accessible for all Bermudians.
These meetings form part of the Government’s efforts to modernise Bermuda’s electoral system and boost public confidence and participation in the democratic process. A strong democracy relies on the voices of its people, and these forums provide an opportunity for residents to share their views and learn about possible improvements to election administration.
Each town hall will include a brief presentation, followed by a moderated discussion, allowing attendees to ask questions and contribute directly to the conversation.
Minister Rabain explained, “These town halls are about listening. Hearing directly from the public will help guide reforms that strengthen confidence, fairness, and accessibility in Bermuda’s electoral system. I encourage everyone to attend, ask questions, and share their perspectives.”
The discussions will focus on key areas under consideration as part of broader electoral reform, including:
-
Implementing absentee voting for eligible Bermudian Students studying overseas;
-
Establishing clear and transparent standards for political parties and campaign financing;
-
Ensuring the voters’ register remains accurate, private, and transparent;
-
Embracing practical modernisation of our electoral systems and technology; and
-
Setting consistent and fair rules for polling day administration.
